Wednesday, March 12, 2008 – After the Job Fair Success workshop, and the Job Fair, it was a perfect conclusion to this track of courses to have an interview skills workshop, brought together again by the SJSU Career Center.

Central to the Interview Skills Workshop included several handouts, as well as information about what to expect in a modern interview, and how to properly prepare for those tough interview questions. Probably the best handout of the event featured a range of tough and commonly-heard interview questions, and then we took a few minutes to practice our interview skills with one another.

Overall, this was another great workshop to help us understand the ins-and-outs of interviewing, and most people in the room seemed eager and ready for their upcoming career opportunities. Thanks again to the Career Center for providing the time and resources for this workshop.

Don’t miss this great opportunity to build your ability to think on your feet, frame your resume and experience in the right way, and earn your next job!
